Sine Wave filter can reduces surge voltage and leakage current by bringing the PWM voltage control waveform closer to a sine wave from a rectangular wave form.
SWF is an abbreviation for Sine Wave Filter.
Due to the high-speed switching of the inverter section with the IGBT, the PWM-controlled voltage waveform is a rectangular waveform.
The SWF converts this rectangular output voltage waveform into a sinusoidal waveform.
SWF utilizes low-pass filter technology.
With pulse-width-modulated PWM-output-voltage waveforms through high-speed switching at IGBT of the inverter section, Low-pass filter technology is used to convert to a sine waveform.
PWM waveform to high frequency component removes most of the (pulse) and bring the voltage waveform applied to the motor closer to the sine wave.
This suppresses the surge voltage and realizes the long life of the motor.
Sine Wave filter data
When suppressing the surge voltage applied to the motor terminal (input winding).
When the cable between the inverter and the motor is long.
When converting an existing motor with low surge resistance to an inverter.
When installing a buck-boost transformer between the inverter and the motor.
1. Motor protection by surge voltage and voltage reflection
The greater the incompatibility of the surge impedance between the motor and cable, the greater the reflected voltage becomes large.
A sine wave filter is used to reduce leakage current and voltage ripple caused by inverters or cable lengths for motors with low surge voltage resistance.
2. Voltage step-up/down transformer
If the inverter and motor are installed at a long distance and need to be transformed by a transformer, the voltage waveform applied to the transformer must be close to a sine wave.
By making it almost sinusoidal, It is possible to transform without using a special transformer, so it is economical in terms of cost and delivery.
3. Application to general load (photovoltaic and wind power generation)
In addition to motor loads using inverters and natural energy sources such as solar and wind power generation when used with so-called general loads, the voltage ripple must be reduced.
Addition of a special reactor also enables use under general load to a sinusoidal filter.
4. Cable length (increase in stray capacitance due to relative dielectric constant)
In the case of an submersible motor, the stray capacitance becomes considerably large due to the effect of the dielectric constant peculiar to the atmosphere.
It has the property of being about 80 times larger.
This means that the capacitance (μF) of the motor drive output circuit is much larger than the conductor in air.
Therefore, voltage reflection becomes even more pronounced.
Submersible motors are subject to strong effects of cable length.
Each of the other application has a unique relative permittivity,
and the same is true for each case.
